Hi,

I wrote another Ruby binding for Growl.

http://limechat.net/rubycocoa/growl.rb

It has all functions the current binding provides.
And the good point is it can handle clicked and timeout callbacks.
Some people seems to need it.

Would you consider to bundle it with Growl?

Timeout callbacks?

Yes.
It can handle a timed out event from Growl.

Explain what exactly that is, because growl doesn't have a concept of a timeout event.

After a notification pop up faded out, Growl would throw a timed out event to the NSDistributedNotificationCenter actually. The notification name is "appname-pid-GrowlTimedOut!".

it's preferable to use DO rather than NSDNC, you know that right?

Oh really?
I'll investigate it.
Thanks for the information.

The timeout isn't anything we do anything with in the nsdnc stuff. I think it's just a vestige of 4 years ago for when gha needed to notify itself that a clickback had timed out, but I'm not positive on that.

The existing Ruby binding also uses NSDNC, so this new code is no worse on that dimension and better on others.

Actually, the timeout notification has been introduced at the same time as the click notification. That way, an application will always receive feedback from Growl whether a notification has been clicked or not.

Ya, but we don't use it anywhere do we? People have been asking us to actually timeout a sticky notification for a while and make it disappear, which is where I thought he was going at first with timeout.
